Abstract

The operating characteristics during a transient of a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) test cell coupled to a nanosecond electromagnetic pulse generator are described through experiment and simulations. The coupled system provides a uniform field in a large area for nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) effects studies on biological samples. Results show that the rise time and the fall time of the pulse during a transient are affected because of charging, discharging of the cell. The effects on rise and fall times are aggravated further due to the presence of samples in the cell.
